We know first-hand how frustrating acne of any sort can be, and while many factors can contribute to it, one of the most important pieces of treating and preventing it is your skincare! And no, we’re not talking about harsh exfoliants and foaming cleansers. In fact, these types of products strip your skins natural oil barrier, leading to more acne and irritation.
This is why we created a new Oily / Acne-Prone Skin Regimen that contains everything you need to gently clear your skin, and improve its health to ensure long-term results. Here’s what’s included in our advanced regimen and why:
- Fortiphy Cleansing Balm and Refresh Gel Cleanser: Consistent, thorough cleansing, including double cleansing every evening to remove excess oil, bacteria, and dirt is essential to achieving clear skin! These products work together to cleanse deeply without stripping your skin.
- Renew Facial Toner: This helps keep your pores clean and unclogged for less frequent breakouts.
- Glow Vitamin C Serum: One of the many amazing benefits of Vitamin C is that it increases cell turnover, which means dead skin cells aren't able to reside under the dermis and combine with sticky sebum in our pores that traps dirt/impurities inside, which leads to breakouts.
- Repair Facial Oil: Created specifically for acne-prone skin and provides anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
This set also includes Refine Eye Serum that helps to revitalize, nourish, and firm the delicate skin around the eye, and CocoVanil Lip Conditioner for lip healing and hydration.
If you want to go a step further in enhancing your routine, we recommend adding:
- Prime Niacinamide Serum, to provide antioxidant protection and extra hydration. (This is super helpful for reducing the appearance of acne scars!)
- Local Detox Mask, used once a week to suck out any remaining impurities! It can also be used as a spot-treatment as needed.
